In honour of the anniversary of our first date…
How will you know the person you are meant to be with until you define who he is?
Before I met Tim I had dated a little. After a few short-lived relationships I decided to write out a list of the qualities of the man I was looking for.
Having been married before there were things I liked and didn’t like about my late husband. That’s normal. No one is perfect, right?
If I had to choose again, I was going to find an amazing man.
Here is my list of the type of man I was looking for:
– attractive
– understanding man who’s a good listener
– supportive and my cheerleader
– physically active
– love of learning
– helping and philanthropic
– loves my children
– treats me always with respect
– friendly with others
– calm and patient
– makes room for me in his life
– good with money
– shows me he cares about me and that I’m a priority
I wrote out that list and then I stopped looking.
I started living. I lived my life for me. I did the things I wanted to do. I built a good life without a man.
Then I met him. That saying is so annoying – “it’ll happen when you least expect it.”
I looked at my list and he was everything on my list.
That’s a pretty amazing manifestation.
So what’s on your list? Are you settling?
